Keep containers securely sealed and protected against physical damage. storage, including Isolate from incompatible substances. any Moisture sensitive. incompatabilities Corrosiveness More resistant to atmospheric corrosion than iron, forming a green layer of hydrated basic carbonate. Readily attacked by alkalis. Attached by acetic acid and other organic acids. Storage Regulations Refer Australian Standard AS/NZS 4681:2000 'The storage and handling of Class 9 (miscellaneous) dangerous goods and articles'. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational Name STEL TWA exposure limit values mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 ppm Footnote Copper (II) Acetate 1 Copper, dust & mist (as Cu) Other Exposure These Workplace Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health Information hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These workplace exposure standards should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity. A time weighted average (TWA) has been established for Copper, dust and mists (as Cu) (Safe Work Australia) of 1 mg/m³ and for Copper (fume) (Safe Work Australia) of 0.2 mg/m³. The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. Appropriate In industrial situations maintain the concentrations values below the TWA. This may be achieved by engineering controls process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods. These methods should be used in preference to personal protective equipment. Respiratory Where ventilation is not adequate, respiratory protection may be required. Avoid breathing dust, vapours Protection or mists. Respiratory protection should comply with AS 1716 - Respiratory Protective Devices and be selected in accordance with AS 1715 - Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection. Eye Protection The use of a face shield, chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shield protection as appropriate. Must comply with Australian Standards AS 1337 and be selected and used in accordance with AS 1336. Hand Protection Hand protection should comply with AS 2161, Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance. Recommendation: Excellent: Nitrile, neoprene, polyvinyle chloride gloves. Fair: NR latex. Personal Protective Personal protective equipment should not solely be relied upon to control risk and should only be used Equipment when all other reasonably practicable control measures do not eliminate or sufficiently minimise risk . Guidance in selecting personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian, Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards. Footwear Safety boots in industrial situations is advisory, foot protection should comply with AS 2210, Occupational protective footwear - guide to selection, care and use. Body Protection Clean clothing or protective clothing should be worn, preferably with an apron. Clothing for protection against chemicals should comply with AS 3765 Clothing for Protection Against Hazardous Chemicals. Hygiene Measures Always wash hands before smoking, eating or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using. 9.

Materials Hazardous Irritating, toxic and corrosive fumes and vapours, including oxides of carbon, acetic acid fumes Decomposition (poisonous gas), copper fumes and some metallic oxides. Contact with incompatibles such as acids or Products acid fumes may release highly toxic fumes. Hazardous Will not occur. Polymerization 11. Toxicological Information Acute Toxicity - Oral LD50(rat): 710 mg/kg. Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of sufficient concentrations may cause irritation and possible burning and pain of mucous membranes in the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. Hemorrhagic gastritis, salivation, headache, nausea, abdominal/gastric pain, dizziness, tiredness, metallic taste, convulsions, shock, bloody diarrhoea and vomiting (vomitus is characteristically greenish-blue) may occur. If vomiting does not occur immediately systemic copper poisoning may occur , symptoms include of capillary damage, headache, cold swear, weak pulse, stomach and intestine ulceration, internal haemorrhage, nephritis, jaundice, CNS damage, kidney and liver damage, shock, coma and possibly death. Poisoning could occur due to this material being soluble in hydrochloric acid, which the stomach contains . May cause changes in structure and or function of the salivary glands in the gastrointestinal system causing nausea and vomiting. Inhalation Inhalation of copper dust or fumes causes irritation to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs). Early symptoms of copper poisoning include coughing, sore throat, wheezing, high temperatures, metallic taste, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, epigastric burning and diarrhoea. May result in harmful corrosive effects including lesions, ulcerations and perforation of the nasal septum and respiratory tract, delayed pulmonary edema, pneumonitis and emphysema. When heated this compound may give off copper fume, which may cause 'Metal fume fever' with symptoms similar to the common cold, including chills and stiffness of the head as well as high temperatures, nausea, coughing and general weakness. Copper compounds have shown by inhalation to produce haemolysis of the blood cells, hepatic necrosis, gastro intestinal bleeding, oligiura, ozotemia, hemoglobinuria, haematuria, tachycardia convulsions, coma and even death. Skin May cause irritation with redness and pain. May cause discolouration of the skin ; greenish-black skin. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin irritation, possibly severe, resulting in redness, itching and pain. May cause skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re -exposure to this material. May cause skin burns. Eye Corrosive. Risk of serious damage to eyes causing irritation, redness, pain, blurred vision, discoloration and possible eye damage (chemical conjunctivitis, corneal clouding, ulceration, permanent corneal opacification) leading to irreversible eye injury. Carcinogenicity Not listed in the IARC Monographs. Chronic Effects Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause defatting leading to dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure to dusts of copper salts may cause discolouration of the skin or hair, blood and liver damage, ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum, runny nose, metallic taste, and atrophic changes and irritation of the mucous membranes. Effects may be delayed. Individuals with Wilson's disease are unable to metabolize copper. Thus, copper accumulates in various tissues and may result in liver, kidney and brain damage. Chronic copper poisoning is typified by hepatic cirrhosis, brain damage and demyelination, kidney defects, and copper deposition in the cornea as exemplified by humans with Wilson's disease. It has also been reported that copper poisoning has lead to hemolytic anemia and accelerates arteriosclerosis. Symptoms of systemic copper poisoning may include: capillary damage, headache, cold sweat, weak pulse, and kidney and liver damage, central nervous system excitation
